Arizona’s Grand Canyon is one of America’s most iconic landscapes. One of America’s crown jewels, the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River that rushes through it have faced many serious threats over the years. Uranium mining is one such threat; it presents grave environmental and health hazards and it imperils the safety of humans and wildlife by potentially contaminating water supplies with toxic tailings.

This risk is intolerable in such a spectacular and ecologically significant place.
